Tighten the cylinder head bolts and nuts diagonally and
evenly.
• The head bolt tightening must be performed in two stages, initial
and final tightening.
#Cylinder head bolt
Initial tightening:25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
Final tightening: 41 N·m (4.1 kgf-m, 29.5 lb-ft)
#Cylinder head nut (M8): 25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
Cylinder head nut (M6): 10 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.0 lb-ft)
Cylinder nut : 10 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.0 lb-ft)

The torque settings for the head bolts are in the Haynes manual. You must have missed them! Easily done.
